Now in their second year of sponsoring the global nutrition movement, Lakeland Dairies have developed a series of resources under their ‘Fortification Focus’ series which includes a brand-new animation. The animation demonstrates how to fortify drinks in three easy steps and can be viewed here. It is supported by an exciting and easy to follow fortifying drinks case study which can be downloaded here.
All the resources in the series support caterers who provide fortified menus in care and healthcare settings, and each resource provides insight from experts in fortification and nourishment. They also demonstrate how the goodness of milk can support excellent nutrition and hydration.
Consultant dietitian Rachael Masters who worked on the project, commented: “Fortifying can make a significant and positive impact for those identified as at risk of undernutrition, and those needing additional nutritional support to aid recovery.
“It’s important to recognise fortifying is more complex than just adding calories. I am a strong advocate of the food first approach to fortification, which embraces enhancing food with a balance of calories, protein, and other nutrients.
“As a dietitian I recommend Lakeland Dairies 100% Dairy Skimmed Milk Powder for fortification because it is an amazing source of both calories and protein.”
Lakeland Dairies’ 100% Dairy Skimmed Milk Powder has 55kcal and 5.5.g of protein in every 15g tablespoon, which exceeds Dietitians’ recommendations for a milk powder for fortification. Available through wholesalers in a convenient 2.5kg pack.
